Missive Dated June 8

Since after yesterday I could finally walk around outside without drawing shame, I decided to go for a walk in some of our old stomping grounds because you have been on my mind so much recently. I was surprised and of course quite angry to find that you have kept at least one other of your projects lying around for just anyone to find. Mind you, I don’t know anyone else still alive who knows about the existence of Hilvert Cave, so I guess it is fairly safe where it is for the time being. There is no way I would even try to go near it anyway. Not after what happened last time.

Mum always told me that I should be more considerate of things like you are. But I would have to say this is not very good example you are setting. Fulfilling your promise and coming home this month to take care of these discarded hopeless causes would at least give us an opportunity to see each other. You know we care about you despite all of this.

I was surprised when I realized Benny has not stopped by in about a week. I will have to talk to his mum at some point to see how he is.
